Residential Evil (prologue, sounding board, and sign-ups)

“Sir, RJ is on the phone for you,” the cadet paged to Tac from the front office as the wolf sat in his leather chair, waiting. He rolled his eyes and headed up to the roof of LRJ HQ, dashing up the steps three at a time. Bursting out onto the roof he muttered to himself for a moment, then kicked the great battery of lights a few times.

Somewhere in the sky, the letter ‘L’ flickered into existence next to the letters ‘R’ and ‘J.’

“Damn lights…”

This is the beginning of a ‘sort of’ sequel to The Replacement Heroes. Now I say ‘sort of’ because, for the most part, if you are a new player you won’t need to have read the original thread to know what’s going on. A new story, and hopefully a few new players to go along with it. ((If you’re interested in a quick catch-up, however, I did a synopsis of the first two threads on the first post of the last thread here.))

For my old players that have expressed an interest in continuing, posting here isn’t strictly necessary, but if there are any notable changes in your character since that terrible summer’s day (a few months have passed) that you’d like to share or discuss, or if you’d like to repost your details for other players to read, by all means do so.

For everyone else considering joining (and specifically Morathi and Deized, who had expressed a desire to play earlier), let me know what changes there are between your listed character profile and who you want to play for this game. Remember, you’re not grotesquely powerful, but rather a somewhat second-string hero. The heroes that (once upon a time) hang out at base answering the phone, the heroes that talk at public schools about the importance of drinking milk, the heroes that are always on “reserve” status, et cetera, et cetera. Maybe you don’t have any “super” powers. Maybe you’re the science wiz with the quick answers and all the gizmos. Maybe you’re very skilled with a sharp mind. Or maybe you’re kinda powerful but really unmotivated. I’d be more than happy to discuss any questions with people on this thread or via PM.

As for numbers of players, I’m assuming I have about six right now, so I’m looking for as many as another five or so to join; I think I can handle that fairly well. In the unlikely event that I get more sign-ups than I can handle, I’ll probably make some lament over the decision as to who to include. Basically, if you want to play, post here or PM me.

As in the previous adventure, I reserve the right to limit some powers, especially mind-reading or precognition, though I’m happy to try and work things out with you. And again, the mood of this adventure will probably be dark, adventurous, and possibly humorous on occasion, but who knows where we’ll go when things start up.

Here we go again. Do you have the strength to fight the evil that lies at the heart of Suburbia?
